After Friends<\/em> was over, Courteney Cox seemed like the one who kept up with other cast members. She and Jennifer Aniston have remained close friends for years, and Cox and Matthew Perry worked together after Friends<\/em>. Perry also worked with Lisa Kudrow post-Friends <\/em>too. Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer seemed to go off and do their own things after the Friends<\/em> juggernaut, so maybe it really was Matthew Perry and \u201cthe girls\u201d who all stayed pretty tight. During the Friends<\/em> run, it was well known that Perry and Aniston had an especially close friendship, more like brother-sister than anything else. Now Page Six reports that Aniston is in a pretty bad state after losing her father last year and now losing Perry.<\/p>\n Jennifer Aniston\u2019s friends are worried about her in the wake of Matthew Perry\u2019s death, sources tell Page Six. The \u201cFriends\u201d star has taken his passing at just 54 extremely badly, according to a well-placed industry source. She and the other four surviving members of the cast of \u201cFriends\u201d mourned him at his funeral Friday.<\/p>\n \u201cOut of the remaining five, Jen and Courtney [Cox] are reeling the most, and Jen is probably the one who is struggling most acutely,\u201d said the source. \u201cIt\u2019s a second massive loss in less than a year, with the one-year anniversary of her dad\u2019s death just around the corner. She still hasn\u2019t fully regained her footing from that, and now this has just completely knocked her off her feet.\u201d<\/p>\n Aniston\u2019s father, John Aniston, starred on \u201cDays of Our Lives,\u201d and in announcing his death at age 89 in November 2022, the actress called him \u201cone of the most beautiful humans I ever knew.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe is trying to regroup and recover but it\u2019s been a completely devastating blow,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was the one that reached out the most. You know, I\u2019m really grateful to her for that,\u201d Perry said of Aniston in an October 2022 interview with Diane Sawyer. Perry also revealed that it was Aniston who initially confronted him on the \u201cFriends\u201d set when his addiction became evident to his castmates.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From Page Six]<\/p>\n If this is true – and it\u2019s Page Six so who knows – then Aniston has every right to grieve however she wants. There is no handbook, there is no tried and true method for dealing with sudden and unexpected loss. It can knock you on your ass. Aniston already has well-known support systems, her \u201cgoddess circle\u201d girlfriends, her therapist, her more esoteric \u201chealers\u201d and such. I hope she relies on them. And if she needs to get good and drunk down in Cabo for a month, so be it. I don\u2019t like the woman but even I\u2019m like \u201cgive her a break, y\u2019all, they were friends for 30 years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Embed from Getty Images<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Backgrid, Cover Images, Avalon Red, Getty.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
